    Looking to upgrade from my current system


    Intel Pentium E6300 LGA775 2.8GHz
    Asus P5QPL-AM LGA775
    Kingston DDR-II 800 MHz 4 GB
    512/ATI 4770 ASUS PCI-E DDR5 Core:750/Mem:3200 128Bit DVI
    Cooler Master Elite 330
    Cooler Master 460W PSU
    WD SATA II 500 GB ( Buffers 16 MB )


    Want to replace the graphics card with this one

    http://www3.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?adp=0&aid=46207&agid=1004&apop=2&lb

    Will my power supply be able to cope with it OK and if not what should I replace it with do you think?

    Thanks

    While it's recommended that you use a 500W or greater power supply it should be fine.

    Thanks a million for the reply Overheal I'll chance my arm with 460 until next year.

    When I do get around to upgrading the PSU is there any PSU in particular that you would recommend?

    Thanks again.
